All does not go to plan, they find a cave but as the tide turns it fills with water and they nearly drown, they then hide in a shack but something they mistake for a monster disturbs their rest. They find their food contaminated with seawater, burn down the shack by mistake but are rescued by fishermen and have to go home and confess to their worried families. There is surprisingly little moralizing in this Victorian adventure. 1 volume. Hardcover.
